If it involves lifting a boat with a crane, we’ve seen it. Sometimes this is as commonplace as transporting a fishing boat from one lake to another, and it’s been as extensive as raising a sunken barge from the bottom of a channel. Hurricanes have a nasty tendency of putting boats in places where they don’t belong, so we’ve become experts at getting them back.
We offer both manned and unmanned crane rentals. For smaller projects you can handle yourself, we’ll provide the equipment. If you’re facing a more involved project, we highly recommend hiring an operator as well: experience will make sure that everything is done right the first time, saving you time and money.
Boats & Marinas: Lifting & Hoisting
Manned & Unmanned Crane Rentals
The kind of crane you need could vary significantly. We have to take the surrounding terrain (or even body of water) into consideration, as well as the site’s proximity to the nearest roadway. If all or part of the boat is submerged, it could change the weight requirements substantially.
If the terrain surrounding the move site is broken, we might recommend a rough terrain (RT) crane. It’s designed to be compact and agile, placing a high premium on maneuverability over inhospitable ground. We can use this equipment to get very close to your boat and begin the moving process.
If the vessel is right next to a roadway or paved surface, it might be better to use a boom truck crane. These pieces of machinery are designed to be highly mobile and can drive straight to the pickup site without having to be delivered by a tractor-trailer. Regardless of which piece of equipment you end up using, we’ll make sure that it’s a perfect match for your situation.

Boats & Marinas: Rigging & Moving
Harnessing, Jacking & Skating
We’ve performed recovery operations where the vessel was tenuously balanced in an unstable manner; properly and safely rigging a boat in these conditions requires a tremendous amount of expertise.
Water adds complications that people don’t commonly consider: attaching the proper rigging to an object that is partially or wholly submerged can be complicated and dangerous. Safety is always our first priority, and we’ll make sure that everyone around is kept safe and your boat doesn’t sustain any damage during the rigging, hoisting, transportation, and delivery processes.

Boats & Marinas: Hauling & Transport
Heavy Hauling & Hot Shot Trucking
One commonly-overlooked aspect of transportation is ensuring that your boat can be placed where you want it. We’ll check the water depth before offloading so you can be confident that your boat’s draft will handle it.
Determining the right trailer setup is crucial. Properly securing something that’s designed for water rather than land use can be downright tricky. Our operators are experts at taking even something as awkward as a V-hull boat and tying it down so that it won’t suffer any damage during the transportation process.
Transporting your boat might involve special permits, but don’t worry—we’ll guide you through the process and help you take care of those. We’ll also carefully select our route, taking everything from overpasses to construction zones under consideration to keep your property safe.
